Intimidator

Ships

The Intimidator is a pivotal vessel within the expansive lore of the Star Wars universe, primarily featured in the Legends continuity. It is an Executor-class Star Dreadnought, also known as a Super Star Destroyer, a title that indicates its massive size and formidable capabilities. Initially commanded by Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Intimidator embodies the technological prowess and military might of the Galactic Empire. Its primary function is to serve as a command ship and a symbol of imperial dominance, equipped with heavy turbolasers, ion cannons, and tractor beam projectors, making it nearly invulnerable in battle. Additionally, it houses numerous TIE Fighters and ground forces, ready for deployment at a moment's notice.

The narrative of the Intimidator takes a dramatic turn during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, a key storyline in the New Jedi Order series. After being captured and refurbished by the alien invaders, the ship is repurposed to serve their nefarious agenda. The transformation symbolizes the invasive and corrupting influence of the Yuuzhan Vong, rendering the once-proud vessel into a tool of destruction against its former allies. Ultimately, the Intimidator meets its end in one of the colossal battles that define the conflict, cementing its place in the annals of Star Wars history as a ship of great power and greater consequences.
